The popular Footman James sponsored Coffee & Chrome event return for 2024 with a re visit to the British Motor Museum. A huge mix of classic and moderns classic machines.
Brilliant day again at the British Motor Museum, despite the windy conditions and a bit of rain the turnout was good. I hope you enjoy the video and apologies for the shaky audio on occasions.. I did my best to work around it.
Hello from New Zealand. Here in NZ we had the General Motors Australian Holden Commodore that was similar to the Opel in car design. The Police used them here back in the day. Good car display there. From Carl.
Thanks Carl, GM really had global products didn’t they? So rare to see Opel here, even the Vauxhall equivalent is rare. Probably, more Holdens survive in NZ?
The mk1 fiesta looked very sympatically modified with the wide steel wheels. Gordon Keeble is a really interesting car which I'm sure would have gone on to be a real success had component supply issues not caused so many problems. The R8 216 GSI is a great car with the 130hp twin cam version of the Honda D series engine. I like the Imp and the Ginetta G15 looks like a really interesting classic sports car To see a Ferrari 250 you would be forgiven for thinking replica, a genuine 250 I'd a rare thing and to see one unrestored is something never seen. I remember seeing the Ford Street Ka concept at the British Motorshow. I was actually offered one a few years ago but didn't have the space for it. A shame really as we had a regular Ford KA years ago and it was great fun. As you know I'm a big fan of the Puma and really enjoyed the one I drove last year. I saw a car with an air conditioning unit like on that Studabaker. Apparently you would put ice into the canister and the cold air from outside would pass through it. Fascinating idea. I would agree with you about the three door Peugeot 205, they are the blue print of the small hatchback. The British built Renault 4 I believe where never actually marketed as a four but a 750. I think I may have seen that car at an event last year. Love the Supra, I once had a ride in red Supra in the late 90's, a non Turbo one though. Always nice to see 80's and 90's Japanese sports cars that are not heavily modified.
Thanks Mark, I must admit, being captivated by the Gordon Keeble, but especially in that lovely light, metallic green. The Fiesta was lovely, just lightly modified enough but not spoilt in my opinion. I never tire of seeing a 205 in any trim, the shape is so clean, simple and more of all pretty.
@@Lot76CARS Thank you for the heads up👍, I've just bought a ticket for the Ford Nationals at Gaydon, next Sunday June 23rd. I guess that's a different event?
@@Lot76CARS No worries, it did cross my mind that you might have been thinking of Ford Fair. I haven't been to Ford Nationals yet But I'm looking forward to it, fingers crossed for the weather as always
As I said this should be a good show. The best one I've been to so far was Festival of the Unexceptional where the Escort was a Concours finalist in 2022. Might see you at Gaydon then
The first car you featured the Vauxhaul so much like the VB and VC Holden Comadore l owned a VC Comadore and that Rover with the Honda engine the most reliable Rovers ever made because they used a Honda engine
@@Lot76CARS the red MK1 mini that was parked next to it belongs to the same guy.....that isn't a MK1.....its actually a 1993 shell that he spent a lot of time modifying it to look like a MK1, it fools everyone.
